Abstract
Description
- The invention concerns a device to lift magnetizable carrier particles. Furthermore, the invention concerns a method to lift carrier particles.
- In electrographic printers or copiers, two-component toner systems are frequently used that comprise a mixture of ferromagnetic carrier particles and toner particles. A magnetic roller arrangement transports the two-component mixture in a region with little separation between the magnetic roller arrangement and the surface of an applicator element to be inked with toner particles, for example a roller or a ribbon. The toner particles are transferred to the surface of the applicator element, whereby magnetic forces hold back the ferromagnetic carrier particles. However, in practice it can occur that ferromagnetic carrier particles that adhere to the toner particles are transferred with them or are mechanically flung onto the surface of the applicator element. These very hard magnetizable carrier particles are then active outside of the development process and can damage the print system or copier system or, due to the contamination, can cause print image interference.
- A method and a device to clean carrier elements in printers or copiers using magnetic fields is specified from DE 101 52 892 (not published), incorporated herein by reference. In this patent application, the development process is specified in detail with the aid of two-component systems and the application of magnetic fields to ferromagnetic carrier particles. The content of this patent application is hereby incorporated in the disclosure contents of the present patent application.
- It is known from operational practice to use an angle stripper that exhibits a magnetic field to lift magnetizable carrier particles. The angle stripper faces at the distance of an air gap a carrier surface that carries the mixture of toner particles and carrier particles. With the aid of the magnetic forces, magnetizable carrier particles are captured. The problem hereby exists that toner taken along by the carrier particles or freely straying (vagrant) toner dust deposits on the surface of the angle stripper via adhesion or triboelectric or electrostatic charging. Viewed over a longer operation time, toner layers can assemble increasingly stronger, such that it can lead to function disruption. Furthermore, the lifted carrier particles must again be removed from the surface of the angle stripper and, if possible, are again supplied to the two-component mixture in the developer station so that the ratio of carrier particles and toner particles remains constant in the two-component mixture in the developer station. In the developer station, frequently a very limited space is present, such that the return of the carrier particles and also the lifted toner particles causes problems.
- It is an object of the invention to specify a device and a method that enables a safe lifting of magnetizable carrier particles and ensures a safe delivery of the carrier particles.
- In a device and method for lifting magnetizable carrier particles, a cover of a collecting element is rotated around a stationary stator and wherein the stator comprises at least one magnet having a pole arranged approximately radial to the cover and a magnetic field which attracts ferro-magnetic carrier particles located on a carrier at a distance of an air gap. A surface of the cover comprises at least one screw-thread type spiral so that, given rotation of the cover, the carrier particles move in an axial direction relative to the cover.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B are a depiction of a collecting roller with spiral-shaped channels;
- FIG. 2 shows an example with carrier particles adhering to the surface of the cover;
- FIG. 3 shows an arrangement of the cover with internal stationary stator and two magnets;
- FIG. 4 illustrates a collecting roller with a central discarding location for the carrier particles;
- FIG. 5 shows a collecting roller with two discarding locations in the end regions;
- FIG. 6 illustrates a collecting roller with an attracting magnet and a transporting magnet;
- FIG. 7 shows a stator with a single magnet; and
- FIG. 8 is a schematic depiction of a developer station with the collecting roller to lift carrier particles from the surface of an applicator roller.
- For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the preferred embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and/or method, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein being contemplated as would normally occur now or in the future to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
- A cover of a collecting element, preferably a non-magnetic hollow cylinder, can be rotated around a stationary stator. This stator comprises at least one magnet whose one pole is arranged approximately radial to the cover and whose magnetic field attracts the ferromagnetic carrier particles. An air gap is provided between the carrier particles and the surface of the cover. At least one spiral according to a type of threading is present on the surface of the cover, preferably as a spiral elevation or depression which, upon rotating the cover, moves the carrier particles in the direction axial to the cover. The ferromagnetic carrier particles are thereby adhered via the magnetic field, such that between the carrier particles and the surface of the cover a relative motion occurs in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction dependent on the lead of the spiral. Due to the axial motion of the carrier particles on the surface of the cover, the carrier particles are systematically conveyed to a desired location and can there be discarded. At the same time, due to the relative motions the surface of the cover is cleaned of deposited toner particles, whereby a safe operating mode occurs.
- According to a further aspect, a method is specified to lift magnetizable carrier particles. The technical effects that can be achieved with this method coincide with those according to the specified device.
- It should be noted that the cited device and the method can be used anywhere ferromagnetic carrier particles that are arranged on a flat or curved carrier surface should be selected.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B show an exemplary embodiment of a
collecting roller 10 designed as a collecting element. In FIG. 1B, a section X of FIG. 1A is shown enlarged. Thecollecting roller 10 comprises as a spiral a spiral-shaped channel 12 according to a type of threading. As is to be recognized in the detail cut-out X, thechannel 12 has a specific width and depth that can be adapted to the size of the ferromagnetic carrier particles. On the left edge of thecollecting roller 10, twogrooves 14 are sunk into the surface of thecollecting roller 10. Thesegrooves 14 serve as a discarding device. When the carrier particles conveyed in the direction axial to the collectingroller 10 reach thesegrooves 14, they are taken away by thegrooves 14 and discarded from thecollecting roller 10. In place of thegrooves 14, elevations or carrier ridges or fins can also be arranged as discarding devices. A further variant exists to bring the magnetic field to a value near zero in a region of the discarding location such that the ferromagnetic carrier particles are no longer held to the surface of thecollecting roller 10, and thus also clean the cover surface via the relative motion. - FIG. 2 shows the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1A, 1B with
carrier particles 16 that are transported via rotation of thecollecting roller 10 counterclockwise towards the left to acarrier fin 18, and are there discarded. In thearea 20, an accumulation of carrier particles is visible that are moved axially to the left in thechannel 12 via carrier particles. - FIG. 3 shows schematically a side view of the
collecting roller 10. It comprises acover 22 that is designed as a hollow cylinder. Inside thecover 22, astator 24 is arranged with twomagnets stator 24 with themagnets cover 22 is rotated in the direction of the rotation arrow P1. Themagnet 26 serves as an attracting magnet, i.e. it attractscarrier particles 16. The long axis of themagnet 26 is aligned approximately radial. Themagnet 28 serves as a transporting magnet; its lengthwise axis is aligned radially and has an angular separation of approximately 90° to the pole axis of themagnet 26. The poles of themagnets magnet 26 to the south pole of themagnet 28. - Using the FIG. 3, the functional principle is explained. The
magnet 26 attractsferroelectric carrier particles 16 with its magnetic field active outwards, such that these adhere to the surface of thecover 22. Given rotation of thecover 22 counterclockwise in the direction P1, thecarrier particles 16 are conveyed to the area of the south pole of themagnet 28 and are held there by the magnetic force of themagnet 28. A relative motion thus occurs between the surface of thecover 22 and the accumulation of thecarrier particles 16 in the area of the south pole of themagnet 28. Due to the screw-shaped channel 12 (not visible in FIG. 3), the accumulation ofcarrier particles 16 is conveyed in the direction perpendicular to the paper plane, whereby a further relative motion occurs. When the conveyedcarrier particles 16 reach the region of thegrooves 14, they are taken away by the grooves and are discarded in the region of the discardinglocation 30. - FIG. 4 shows an example in which a
channel 32 is designed coil-shaped on the surface of the collectingroller 10 according to a type of right-handed thread, and thechannel 34 is designed according to a type of left-handed thread. The discarding device, forexample grooves 14 or fins, is arranged where bothchannels roller 10, the discardinglocation 30 lies in the middle of the collectingroller 10. - FIG. 5 shows another example. The
channels carrier particles 16 outwards to the edge regions of the collectingroller 10 where they are discarded by thegrooves 14. Two discarding locations thus occur here at the edge. Given the axial motion of thecarrier particles 16, these rub against the surface of thecover 22 and clean it of deposited toner particles, as this ensues, for example, at thelocation 20. The toner particles adhere due to the triboelectric charge and adhesion to the surface of thecover 22 to the surface of thecarrier particles 16. The number of discardinglocations 30, as well as the lead for a plurality of spiral-shaped channels and the direction of the thread, can only be designed such that the discardinglocations 30 are set where corresponding catch locations or catch devices are present. In this manner, an improvement of the design possibilities occurs, for example, inside of a developer station. Via the selection of a plurality of discardinglocations 30, the accumulating quantity ofcarrier particles 16 and for the most part scarce space within a housing can be accommodated. - FIG. 6 shows the example according to FIG. 3 with further details. The
magnets magnet 26 transports thecarrier particles 16 to the surface of thecover 22, and on the other hand themagnet 28, given rotation of thecover 22, conveys the acquiredcarrier particles 16 optimally in the axial direction of thecover 22. - FIG. 7 shows an example in which a
single magnet 36 undertakes the function of catching thecarrier particles 16 and axially transporting thecarrier particles 16. A simple and cost-effective assembly thus occurs. This variation is offered when the quantity ofcarrier particles 16 to be lifted is relatively small and an accumulation ofcarrier particles 16 at this location leads to no problem in the overall system. In the variation according to claim 6, thecarrier particles 16 that are attracted by themagnet 26 are transferred (preferably via the magnetic field lines between the north pole of themagnet 26 and the south pole of the magnet 28) to the transportingmagnet 28 and held there. Such an arrangement is advantageous when the lifted carrier particles can not dwell at the pole location of themagnet 26, for example due to the narrow air gap, since the quantity to be lifted is too large. On the other hand, the division of the functions of attracting carrier particles and holding them and axially conveying the carrier particles is advantageous for reasons of design. - FIG. 8 shows as an exemplary embodiment of a developer station40 with an indicated
housing 42. The two-component mixture comprising toner and ferromagnetic carrier particles is located in the floor region. This mixture is circulated by apaddle wheel 46. Amagnetic roller 48 conveys the mixture made of carrier particles and toner particles to an applicator roller, whereby if at all possible only toner particles should be transferred to the surface of theapplicator roller 50. Themagnetic roller 48 holds the carrier particles back due to its magnetic field. However, this process is imperfect, such that carrier particles to some degree can also arrive together with toner particles on the surface of theapplicator roller 50. The previously specified collectingroller 10 is arranged at a distance of anair gap 52 from the surface of theapplicator roller 50 and catches the carrier particles from the carpet made of toner particles. The caught carrier particles are then again supplied to the two-component mixture. Theapplicator roller 50 transfers the toner particles to thelocation 54 on the surface of a photoconductor drum provided with latent images. A cleaningroller 56 removes the untransferred toner particles from the surface of theapplicator roller 50. It is to be noted that an applicator ribbon can also be used as an applicator element that is arranged opposite the collectingroller 10 that removes ferromagnetic carrier particles from the carpet of toner particles. - Numerous variations of the specified exemplary embodiments are possible. For example, the coil to transport the carrier particles in the axial direction can also comprise elevations in the form of fins. The fins or channels do not have to be designed connected, but rather can also only be present along the extent of the cover in sections. Additionally, a direct voltage field can also act along the axis of the collecting
roller 10, for example via application of a high direct voltage. The electrical field is to be selected such that it repels toner particles. In this manner, fewer toner particles are dragged along via the attraction of carrier particles, and free vagrant toner is repelled. An alternating voltage can be overlaid on the direct voltage in order to amplify the effect. Thecover 22 can be coated with an anti-adhesive material in order to ease a removal of deposited toner layers via mechanical friction. Many other variations are also possible. - Although preferred exemplary embodiments are shown and specified in detail in the drawings and in the preceding specification, the invention should not be limited to this. It is to be noted that preferred exemplary embodiments are shown and specified, and all variations and modifications that lie within the scope of protection of the invention now and in the future should be protected.
